The following is the Bangor Wings account of
the game:
The first game of the the Bangor
grounds with the Belfast> was played yesterday
| and was characterized by fine fielding and batting
the part of the visitors and rather lisless field
ing and very weak batting for the home team.
That little out drop could not be hit and the con-
| sequence that zeros were drawn throughout t
the game There was no snap to the Bangors play
ing, and the team also played in hard luck. Day
was bated d hanl n only in M the tnr inning m XIV when
| burlington had a number of passed balls. but was
eNcusablc as his hands were sore and he has had
no practice with Day. Lynch and Lang gave Day
| excellent support. What Bangor most needs is Il
| first class pitcher.
The Belfass all played an excellent game and
| knowlton, McAndless, Doyle, Realtlon and Nc
CHM deserve special mention for good work.
Chatterlon, McGin and knowton batted heavily.

| The Beacon base ball club of Boston, made its
regular annual visit to Maine last week. and sat
| urtay afternoon played the home team the
| NOrthport avenue grounds. There was goo,
sized audience. Mr. Carl Frederick, a former Bel
fast boy, is still with the team and played third
base, and his brother Jabez was also with the cu
but did not play in this city. AS usual the team
brought its own umpire. The Bclfasts went first
to bat Nichols, the famous Beacon pitcher, giving
him his base on balls Belfast made two scores on
| the first inning. The Beacons followed with one
| score. Doyle pitched his first game for Belfast
and showed up we'll Belfast was blankcd on the

Bcacons were blanked in the second inning, scor-
ing one in the third, one in the fourth, three in the

| looked as though Belfast would win and the yisi
tors thought too. The Beacons scored another
run in the seventh, which was the last run made in
| the game, Belfast being blanked in the seventh
eighth and ninth innings. 1t is chldlike to lay a
defeat to the umpire, but such was the The
Beacons always carry their umpire, and when
| necessary he gives them the game. During the
game Belfast player ran from first to second on
pass ball. but the ball struck the umpire's feet am,
stopped. The catcher recovered it and threw the
man safe, claiming that he stopped the ball. The
Beacons came in and all surrounded the umpire
who changed his decision and called the man out
In the ninth inning he rank that at the close
the crowd surrounded him and there was much
angry talk. Some of the most earnest said to the
Belfast management: ''If you allow this to go or
we will never contribute another cent to base ba II
If the Beacons win on their merits, all right; bu
